Helloooooo Ladies: The Alexander McQueen "Thriller" Faithful Glove Clutch = R.I.P. The Runway.


"Carry this handbag and pay tribute to both the late Alexander McQueen and his inspiration for this piece: the iconic Michael Jackson. McQueen's Thriller Faithful Glove Clutch is a black whipsnake design clutch that features two angled zipper pockets and a white fingerless glove embellished with white Swarovski crystals on the front. The glove is attached to the bag with a snap and is (presumably) removable. The interior is fully lined in purple/plum with one inside zipper pocket and has a snap closure. Certainly an accessory meant to start a conversation. $1,920"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: On the penny loafer heels of last night's powerful Drake Degrassi "dance-off" post, comes the glitteringly glamorous Alexander McQueen "Thriller" Faithful Glove Clutch. Call it fashion fate or sexy sartorial serendipity, but, now this clutch designed by the late, great Alexander McQueen to memorialize the late, great Michael Jackson and his famed sequenced glove now serves as a tribute to both fallen icons.

This updated version of the "Faithful" purse features a detachable Swarovski-embellished white leather glove fastened to this "Thriller" zippered luxurious black whipsnake clutch. Now, given the fact that Michael Jackson and Alexander McQueen are each no longer with us, some have unfairly declared this clutch to be a "ghostly" grab bag that hits too close to home in light of their recent deaths. I respectfully disagree.

To me this handbag homage (NOTE: Pronounced "hoe-maj" by fellow snobs ... lol) is a delightful send-up of 2 men who spent their lives entertaining our senses. This is not macabre, this is masterful and @ $1,920 this talk-of-the-town tote is just out of grasp for those whom might make it frightfully crass. It's not what Y.O.U. do mama, it's ALL about how Y.O.U. do it. Tell the lames to "Beat It"! ... lol. Holla @ ya boy in BK!
